🥁 Drumroll, please...some of you may have heard, but the big news over here is that Cady is rowing across the Atlantic in December 2027, and we want to help get her there!

We're hosting the Help Float Our Boat Launch Party on November 21, 2026 to help get Cady and her teammates at Team Rising Tide to the starting line! GMCF will close to the public for this special event, and doors will open for ticket holders at 7 pm with the main event going until 11 pm. Help Float Our Boat is a community fundraiser full of giveaways, a silent auction, immersive experiences, and entertainment, including screenings of A Most Beautiful Thing, the critically acclaimed documentary that follows Arshay Cooper's story adapted from his award-winning book of the same name.

Simultaneously, we'll be hosting the first-ever All Night ROWdown, a 12-hour overnight rowing competition from 8 pm Saturday night to 8 am Sunday morning.

This event supports Cady and Team Rising Tide as they work toward the start line of the 2027 World’s Toughest Row across the Atlantic Ocean. The larger goal is to use the journey and the attention it generates to raise awareness and support for the A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund, which expands access and opportunity through rowing.

Tickets for the Help Float Our Boat Launch Party will be available for purchase soon.
